      benefits and halo

      After Nick Leeson of "Rogue Trader"? In fact, the so-called devils emerge in an endless stream, and their purpose is nothing more than profit and halo!

      In 2002, John Rusnak, a trader in the Baltimore branch of Allied Irish Bank in the United States, caused a loss of 750 million US dollars for the bank; in
      2008, a trader of Societe Generale, Keville, illegally used 50 billion euros of funds to buy Stock index futures, causing a $6.7 billion loss to the bank.
      In September...

      they cannot escape the history

      Rogue Trader
      Today, I saw the movie Rogue Trader. It definitely states the people's mind and the condition of stock market. I had read some material which talks about Rosechald's programs' process. I have to say the Barlin Bank lacked of the administration for the low position. Their eyes was lacked by the huge profits, and didn't view this problem as soon as possible. And their process's is very slow, and it was always blocked. Moreover, I thought as a great bank, if they don' t have own...

      Sound and Music Appreciation

      The film begins with a wild male vocal, accompanied by a newscaster delivering financial information. The voice of the announcer drifted away, and the singing was connected with the fast-paced dance music of the disco, which was very natural. The scene shifts to a disco where people speak loudly and hoarsely. Until a black man picked up his chair and hit the protagonist Nick.
              The long shot, medium shot, and close shot of the city of London alternate. A group of traders in black...

      Do not forget peace of mind

      In the story, the actor should have been doing brokerage work to earn commissions, but he used the client's idle funds without the client's knowledge
      . It's not easy to happen.

      The main character's motivation is largely not due to greed in human nature.
      It should be said that he did these things because of hardships.
      At first, it was because of the mistakes of the subordinate employees.
      Later , it was forced by the boss's requirements for profit.
      When he made...

      "Barings Bank Collapse"

      Who is this? Nick Leeson,
        
      a futures and options staff member from Morgan Stanley, joined Barings Bank on June 16, 1989, and in March 1991, Nick Leeson returned to London. His success in Jakarta and his training at Morgan Stanley made Nick Leeson a specialist in futures and options settlement.

      The first lessons of futures trading and currency banking were watching this movie. Although the film is a little bloody, it is basically realistic. The collapse of Barings wasn't all Nick's problem. It's ironic that a problem that can be solved by doing a good balance sheet has caused such a big old company to...

      I watched it in class, and after reading it, I finally realized how terrible the stock market is! Not only did Nick make a mistake, but the senior executives of Barings Bank were blinded by their interests, and finally the bank with a long history went bankrupt, showing the greed of people's...

      SIMEX. . . I wanted to learn something. . . Still didn't understand anything. . . I didn't even understand why they vomited, I can still understand when I choked, what is there to vomit? Also, no one vomited together, and a close-up? Evil or not? It's no wonder that a good wife who is beautiful but still feels uneducated and petite looks so familiar: Anna Friel, a flower in Pushing Daisies. ....

    Evaluation action

    A classic in business war movies, it is also a mainstream movie that unabashedly defends human greed and desire in an era where money is in command. The film is based on the background of Singapore, a global financial giant, and describes the greedy nature of Nick, a "trump card" trader in the stock market, who uses all means to manipulate the stock market behind the scenes. James Dearden, the son of a stock broker, used his usual...

    Movie quotes

    • Nick Leeson: [voiceover] My team were young, they were hungry, and they didn't have a clue.

      [in a cafe with his newly hired team]

      Nick Leeson: A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specified amount of a commodity at a specified price at a future date.

      [no one responds]

      Nick Leeson: All right, um... it's like if I agree to sell you this cup of cappuccino, which I don't yet own, at 45 cents a month from now, if I can buy the cappuccino at say, 43 cents, I make a profit. If the price goes the other way, I have to pay more and I lose. It's timing, it's buying and selling at the right moment. Sometimes expresso might be the best deal, or salt or pepper.

      George Seow: So, we're running a supermarket, huh?

      [they laugh]

    • George Seow: [pulls up in a new red Porsche 911 convertible] Get in, you bastard!

      Nick Leeson: [laughing] What the fuck is that?

      George Seow: Sex on wheels. It's a Porsche, moron! Get in!

      Nick Leeson: [getting in] I'll tell you what it is, it's disgusting.

      George Seow: I'll tell you what it is, it's a great big hard-on.

      [he speeds off]

      George Seow: Gotta think of something to do with my bonus!

      Nick Leeson: Well, you keep your eyes on the road, you flash git!

    • [Nick and Danny have mooned a group of women in a bar, and now they've returned with the police]

      Nick Leeson: Oh, you've got to be joking.

      Policeman: No laughing matter. Outraging a lady's modesty, very serious crime in Singapore.
